Kwang Jeon observed that Amoeba had been attacked by a bacterial infection, and lots of the Amoeba had died. However, some survived and continued to reproduce. After investigating the remaining Amoeba and their offspring, he noticed they were very healthy. He thought maybe they were able to fight off the bacteria, but instead, he found they were still infected with the bacteria but were not dying. The bacteria were no longer making the Amoeba sick. Then, he killed off the bacteria using antibiotics and was surprised to see that the Amoeba also died. It seemed the Amoeba and bacteria had formed a relationship in which they both needed each other to survive. After researching, Jeon found that the bacteria made a protein that the Amoeba needed to survive.

Answer:

= a) chirality

Explanation:

Because chiral molecules has four different atoms bonded to the central atom, hence they rotate plane polarized light and produces non-superimposable mirror images

Reynolds number E. What is the mean velocity u. (ft/s) and the Reynolds number Re = pu., D/ for 35 gpm (gallons per minute) of w

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The mean velocity is 13 ft/s.

The Reynolds number is 88,583 and it is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We have water flowing in a pipe of 1.05 in diameter.

The density is ρ=62.3 lb/ft and the viscosity is 1.2 cP.

The mean velocity can be calculated as

$u=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{Q}{\pi*D^2/4}=\frac{35gpm }{3.14*(1.05in)^2/4}\\\\ u=\frac{35}{0.865}*\frac{gal}{min}\frac{1}{in^2}*\frac{231in^3}{1gal}*\frac{1}{60s} \\\\ u=156\,in/s=13\,ft/s$

The Reynolds number now can be calculated for this flow as

$Re=\frac{\rho*u*D}{\mu}$

being ρ: density, u: mean velocity of the fluid, D: internal diameter of the pipe and μ the dynamic viscosity.

To simplify the calculation, we can first make all the variables have coherent units.

Viscosity

$\mu=1.2cP=\frac{1.2}{100}\frac{g}{cm*s}*\frac{1lb}{453.6g}*\frac{30.48cm}{1ft}= 0.0008\frac{lb}{ft*s}$

Diameter

$D=1.05in*(\frac{1ft}{12in} )=0.0875ft$

Then the Reynolds number is

$Re=\frac{\rho*u*D}{\mu}\\\\Re=62.3\frac{lb}{ft^3}*13\frac{ft}{s} *0.0875ft*\frac{1}{0.0008}*\frac{ft*s}{lb}\\\\Re=88,583$

What type or process is involved in going from elements to compounds and vice versa

Mixtures to pure substances: separation processes
Pure substances to mixtures: mixing 

Both are physical changes, since most of those processes do not require chemical changes in the separation processes.
